Chelsea vs Manchester United LIVE: Result and reaction from Premier League fixture tonight
Chelsea host Manchester United in the Premier League this evening in what could turn out to be a crucial game for the fight to finish the top four. Chelsea could all but end United’s hopes of reaching next season’s Champions League with a win, while United could blow the race wide open by inflicting defeat at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea are currently in fourth spot, with 41 points, but are only one point ahead of Tottenham and two clear of Sheffield United. Wolves, Everton, United, Arsenal and Burnley are all within seven points of Frank Lampard’s Blues, and with Manchester City’s recent ban by Uefa, there could even be an extra place up for grabs.
Both clubs come into the game without a win in their past three games, and both managers are under scrutiny, particularly Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, as the top-four race intensifies. Follow all the action live below:
